About Me

Hi Everyone!

As you can tell from my sidebar I am Annemieke. I am a 30 something Dutch stay at home mom. Books have been a large part of my life for a while now. I grew up amongst books as a child and inhaled them myself as soon as I could read. In high school and college I lost contact with the big reader in myself. But in 2014 my love for books was found again when I found the book tumblr community.

Then in May of 2015 I decided to finally create my own book blog and I never looked back. The name of the blog was funnily enough inspired by my reading of A Dance with Dragons by George R.R. Martin at the time. I thought making it A Dance with Books was quite clever. I know. I’m terrible. Even so this was a title for this blog that has since stuck around and I can’t imagine ever changing it.

This blog has become a bit of an extension of myself. As a stay at home mom to a young toddler boy (born August 2016) life isn’t always easy or exciting. I get a lot of stimulation out of reading, writing blog posts and interacting with all of you.

Hello from Belgium! I blog in French (I wanted to do a bilingual version of the blog but it just takes too much time, so I gave up), but I read in English a lot as well. And you’re right, books that are not translated in English do deserve to be mention as well. Looking forward to reading you!

Welcome to A Dance with Books

I’m Annemieke. A Dutch book blogger who blogs in English. But I’m also a wife and mom. I prefer to read fantasy (adult and young adult) books but sometimes I deviate from that genre a little. Feel free to leave me a comment or contact me through other social media accounts. I always welcome a chat.

Broken Photos

Over the years I have been having a lot of trouble with free image hosting sites. Every year I have been blogging actually. And once again in 2019 I am back to the drawing board as I have to replace a lot of broken photos.

I am sorry if you see any broken bits. Know that I am working on figuring out where to go next for me and my blog and will be doing my best to remove the broken links over the next year (up to November 2020).
